The 5 mph speed limit should also apply to all animals in the park.<br /><br />I recommend adding<br />4. 4 All animals, domestic or wild, must at all times be preceded by a man walking and carrying a red flag.<br /><br />Finally,<br /><br />Joggers and children can also move quite fast and in an unpredictable manner. Some joggers even push prams, children even play games in the parks. Again this can be frightening and dangerous. You should include the clause:<br /><br />All park users must at all times be preceded by a man walking and carrying a red flag.<br /><br />To avoid any distress to other park users it may be necessary to further insist that all men carrying red flags be preceded by a man carrying a red flag.Webmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247716590518533518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805138158441245701.post-74080254851690153122014-01-21T09:59:03.322+00:002014-01-21T09:59:03.322+00:00Your 3 year old nephew sounds awfully like my thre...Your 3 year old nephew sounds awfully like my three-year old niece.Avocado Zesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604602866701415442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805138158441245701.post-24250645986275853252014-01-21T00:18:03.370+00:002014-01-21T00:18:03.370+00:00My grandma always told the story of her school spo...My grandma always told the story of her school sports day in the 1930s where one of the competitions was who could go the slowest on the bike while not falling off, last man standing over the finish line won.
